Probate

When your loved one dies, assets titled in that person’s name will likely pass to the beneficiaries according to the terms of that person’s will. Probate is a legal proceeding under the jurisdiction and supervision of the Probate Court in the decedent’s county of residence. The probate process consists of the following steps:

·Executor files inventory and accounting reports with the Probate Court

·Executor distributes the remaining assets to the intended beneficiaries

The probate process typically takes anywhere from 4 to 18 months. We have the experience to guide you through these steps and help you manage the estate effectively during this very difficult and emotional time.
